This is a mix of blanks for Western and wa handles. Some people seemed interested in wa handle blanks, and since a lot of my blanks are pre-cut for that, I wanted to offer a few. The dark blackish ones are dyed burls still covered in resin, when sanded, they will be dark blue, teal or red - same batch as the dyed Western blanks Myron has/had on his site. The buckeye burl piece is great, I hope it will be long enough for two Western blanks. There is also some of my best dark premium curl koa among those pieces. They are cut for Western handles and for the wa handles I am making I would just waste too much, so I rather pass them on. Same thing with the ironwood burl. It's the most I ever spent on a single piece of wood, beautiful burl pattern. It is oversized even for a western blank, but not enough to make 2 blanks, so I am passing it on. Should be nice to see them sanded and prettied up.

Thanks for your interest everyone. I just finished sanding and applying a couple of coats of finish to everything. I'll try to have everything cataloged and on the site by Wednesday latest.

Please note that I do not do "dibs", especially when the size and price of items has not yet been established. I will, on occassion, pull a piece off the site if someone is interested in it and not quite ready to pull the trigger (especially for repeat customers), otherwise, it's first come first serve. And many of you know that I give heads-ups on KKF and PMs, if requested, as to when items will be listed.

I've known Stefan long enough to understand what those statements mean.....don't delay on these ones folks, you'll be missing out for sure.

GOOD NEWS! Made better progress on getting these ready for prime time than I originally thought. Should be in the store sometime tonight. Here's a preview. In there are Ancient Kauri, Arizona Desert Ironwood Burl, Sindora Burl, Buckeye, Koa, Chestnut, Purple Heart, Satinwood and Dyed Maple/Box Elder/Buckeye/Tamarind.
